After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

Back at the tofu shop, she asked Ziwu to find a stranger to pass on the news about the child to Doctor Zhang.

He locked himself in the room and started working again, and only had time to relax when it got dark.

She asked Ziwu to prepare a jar of strong liquor for her and pour it into the hot water in the bathtub. When she came out again, she looked like a fairy descending to the mortal world, even more beautiful.

Even Zi Wu was stunned. Compared to the last time her master revealed her true face, this time she was even more charming. Her eyes and eyebrows were full of life, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away.

Su Runrun played with Bai Runrun in the room for a while, and then read a book for half an hour at the table.

The moonlight is cold and the weather is getting colder.

Su Ruanruan gathered her cloak around her body, slowly sat down in the octagonal pavilion in the yard, and looked up at the scattered stars.

Ziwu hung a few lanterns in the octagonal pavilion and moved in two braziers that were burning brightly.

Su Ruanruan placed the zither in her arms on the table and plucked the strings with her fingertips, making a few pleasant sounds. She straightened her body and played the zither again with her delicate hands. The sound of the zither sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate.

But as she played, the sound of the piano suddenly changed to a low and mournful tone, as if crying and complaining, as if there were many grievances that she had no one to tell.

Ziwu listened carefully, feeling a little confused. Given her master's background, how could she play the piano?

However, although she was curious, it was not her turn to ask about her master's affairs. She just had to do her job well.

She went on to do other things and left the octagonal pavilion.

When she came back, Su Ruanruan lowered her head, unable to hide her sadness.

"Why are you back again? It's cold outside, you don't have to accompany me."

"Master, Captain Huo is here. He asked me what I was doing and brought you some things."

"If you don't see him, just tell him that Su Ruanruan has gone to bed and it's inconvenient to see him, so ask him to go back."

After Ziwu left, Su Ruanruan touched the strings of the zither again, thinking of the past, a tear fell on the table, she raised her eyes and wiped away the wetness.

With the faint light, I discovered a figure on the wall.

Just as he was about to call for help, the man spoke first, "It's me, the head of the police station, Huo Yan."

Su Ruanruan quickly covered her mouth, it was a close call as she almost let out her original voice.

If Huo Yan heard her voice, he would know that she was Su Ruanruan.

Su Ruanruan pretended to use the same tone as when she last met him at the tofu shop, "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. I wonder what Captain Huo is doing here?"

Huo Yan was originally leaning against the wall listening to the piano, but he was discovered and jumped down from the wall.

He walked forward a few steps and leaned against the bare peach tree, holding two oil-paper bags in his hands.

He looked at the stunning woman who was some distance away from him in the octagonal pavilion. The soft light from the lanterns shone on her body, giving her a beautiful and desolate look.

He knew very little about the mysterious owner of the tofu shop, but he felt that she, like Su Ruanruan, was shrouded in a cloak of mystery.

He raised the oil-paper bag in his hand and shook it, "I bought some food for Ruanruan. Since she has already fallen asleep, I won't disturb her sweet dreams."

"Then you can go." Su Ruanruan said.

Huo Yan hung the oil-paper bag on the tree branch and walked over to sit opposite her.

"Why don't you leave?"

Huo Yan took out a thousand taels of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Can you sell this tofu shop to me?"

Su Ruanruan remembered what he had said that day, that he would buy the tofu shop and give it to her.

She curled her lips coldly, "Court Captain Huo, can't stay in the government office anymore? He even has eyes for a small business like the tofu shop?"

Huo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman opposite him a few more times.

She gave him a very familiar feeling, not at all like the second time around.

For some reason, it was like seeing Su Ruanruan through her.

Su Ruanruan felt very uncomfortable with his gaze, fearing that he would point at her the next moment: Su Ruanruan, it's you!

She cleared her throat and asked, "Could it be that Huo Yan has some thoughts about me because of my beauty?"

Huo Yan said calmly, "Although I am not a gentleman, I am not someone who pleases everyone. I just feel familiar with you."

"Boss, can you please let me have this tofu shop? If you think the price is not right, then you can name a price."

"Captain Huo, why are you staring at my small tofu shop? There are many businesses bigger than mine out there. You should go back."

"To be honest, Miss, I want to buy this tofu shop because I want to give it to a girl."

Su Ruanruan looked like she knew it, "Su Ruanruan?"

"Exactly."

"Who is she to you?"

"The woman I like."

Su Ruanruan, "!"

"Do you like her?" Su Ruanruan asked.

Huo Yan pondered for a moment. He didn't know what that inexplicable feeling was before, but at this moment, he was sure that after he let go of the matter with Rou'er, he fell in love with her.

"Yes, I am sure. I am in love with her."

Su Ruanruan has never thought about starting a new relationship. There is no room for anyone in her broken heart.

All she had for Huo Yan was gratitude for saving and helping her many times.

What happened between her and him was nothing more than a fleeting romance.

She knew that he had no wife or concubine, no other women around him, and no bad habits.

He was a pretty good bed partner.

Just a bed partner, nothing more.

When he gets married, she will no longer have any contact with him.

Now he actually said he liked her?

But she will never love anyone else in this life, let alone marry anyone else.

"So what if she likes him? As far as I know, she has been hurt by someone else and probably won't like anyone else again. Captain Huo, why would you make yourself unhappy?"

"It's widely rumored that Su Ruanruan and Captain Huo have been secretly in love for a long time. Is it possible that if this rumor is true, you really want to... marry her?"

Huo Yan tapped his fingers on the table. "The rumors may not be false. She has fallen out with the Su family and is just an orphan with no one to rely on. I can't stand others bullying her. I just want to give her an identity and a place to shelter from the wind and rain..."

Although it was impossible to agree, Su Ruanruan still wanted to know what his identity was...

"Do you really want to marry her?"

Huo Yan looked at the dark night. With her identity, she could never be his wife. The only thing he could give her was...

"concubine."

In just one word, it is fried until soft and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

She never expected that the identity Huo Yan mentioned would be a concubine?

What is the difference between a concubine and a mistress? She is not even as good as Bai Baixu's second wife.

Although she would definitely not be Huo Yan's concubine, she could no longer remain calm just by hearing him say so.

Knowing that he had such thoughts, Su Ruanruan could no longer continue with him.

There are plenty of men in the world, at worst you can just find another one.

Su Ruanruan pushed the banknote back and said, "Captain Huo, please go back."

"I will not sell this tofu shop, no matter how much money you offer."

After saying that, he gathered his cloak together, turned around and left.

Huo Yan turned around and looked at her back. That figure really looked like Su Ruanruan.
